Our working installation (on Debian Lenny) is Asterisk 1.6.2.9 (built from source) with mpg123 version 1.4.3 (installed from a .deb). More tests to try: Can you listen to an mp3 file through the Asterisk server's own sound card (if it has one; if not, use the -w option to write to a .wav file, and test that by copying it to another machine which has a sound card), by invoking mpg123 from the command line? Try $ file $(which asterisk) $ file /usr/local/bin/mpg123 and make sure both are compiled for the same architecture ("ELF 64-bit LSB executable" or "ELF 32-bit LSB executable"). If one is 32-bit and the other is 64-bit, you *will* get problems. -- AJS Answers come *after* questions. -- _____________________________________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- New to Asterisk?
